(NYT20) LONDON -- July 22, 2002 -- BRITISH-MUSEUM-4 -- From the outside, the British Museum in London looks the same as ever. An average of 400,000 visitors come and go each month, drawn by special new exhibitions -- currently, the big-ticket show is a celebration of the life of the Queen of Sheba -- and by perennial favorites like the Elgin Marbles. But beneath its familiar exterior, the museum, Britain's most visited tourist attraction, is in financial turmoil. A planned $118 million study center, once a cornerstone of the museum's long-term strategy to engage the public more directly, has been abandoned. In early July, visitors in the Great Court looking at the circular Reading Room which used to belong to the British Library. (Jonathan Player/The New York Times)
